Josef (Ordensname Gereon) Außerlechner concealed himself to avoid being drafted into the Wehrmacht. He died on June 13, 1944 in the Dachau concentration camp. Oswald Außerlechner erected a memorial plaque for his son at the parish church in St. Oswald/Kartitsch in the late 1940s. He composed the text together with parish priest Josef Grimm. The nieces and nephews of Josef Außerlechner renovated the plaque and added the information "Concentration Camp Prisoner No. 44 970" to the original text. Abbot Raimund Schreier of Stift Wilten consecrated the plaque on October 5, 2014 at the wall of the parish church Kartitsch during a memorial mass.
